The training sands outside the Academy shimmered with golden energy. Seventy-five students took their positions as Sir Maxilius, now formal teacher and guide, stepped forward.
"Today begins your first official quest.
Welcome to the Sit Quest—a foundational trial that will test your resolve.
The rules are simple: Sit in silence, without assistance, for 14 hours."
A circular sand field had been prepared. Vestora walked forward, calm and focused. As he sat, he unfolded an ordinary fan—not for comfort, but as a buff artifact. Though it held no direct ability, its aura subtly increased the chances of drawing high-tier skills during meditation.
Vestora closed his eyes. Time unraveled.
What was meant to be 14 hours… stretched. Vestora meditated for five full days, shattering every Academy record. When his eyes opened, his Status Board surged with updates:
Skill Obtained: Nameless Weapon
→ Create weapons from aether and name them.
→ Named weapons gain individuality, evolve over time, and become unique magical items.
Skill Obtained: Frank's Constant Alpha
→ Distortion-free energy pulses throughout the user's body.
→ A state of full activation: boosts reactions, resilience, and internal regeneration.
Sir Maxilius returned, stunned but composed. The rest of the class whispered in awe as Vestora stood, transformed.
"Vestora, your meditation has not just transcended the Sit Quest…
It awakened dormant cosmic gifts. You bypassed ordinary rewards."
Maxilius handed him no skill card—there was no need. The Creator's blessing had already arrived.
"Your name will be whispered across Questoria. Now… rest, young adventurer. Your path is no longer ordinary."
Vestora woke early—refreshed, resolute. After his silent morning meditation and cleansing bath, he approached the dorm warden, Graspher.
Graspher smiled and handed him a steaming bowl of noodles.
"Eat up, boy. Sir Maxilius is expecting you at eight sharp."
After breakfast, Vestora walked across radiant crystal paths to the academy courtyard. There, Sir Maxilius stood with calm authority.
"Good morning, sir," Vestora said, taking his seat.
Maxilius called attendance, then addressed the class:

The class shouted in unison:
"Yes, Sir!"
Maxilius called forth the five highest performers of the Sit Quest, each having endured more than one full day of meditation. Vestora stepped forward among them.
The class stood in silence as Sir Maxilius called the top five performers from the Sit Quest. These were the students who had meditated for over a full day, enduring the mental storm with unmatched focus.
Vestora, Cyan, Verki, Leraka, and Bianca stepped forward, each radiating quiet determination.
Sir Maxilius gestured to Vestora.
"Vestora, your board awaits. Step forward and declare your path."
Vestora advanced calmly, eyes locking with his mentor's.
"Sir… my class is Warrior, type Fighter. But my skills have evolved—something unusual happened due to my Aether weapon."
Sir Maxilius leaned in, intrigued.

Vestora returned to his place. Maxilius turned to the next student.
"Cyan, step forward. Let's see what path you have chosen…"
